<p>In this workshop you’ll learn the key structures involved in trauma patterns within the body and why we can end up feelings so stuck in life and unable to change certain thinking and behavioural patterns.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>Tension patterns start in the nervous system but certainly don’t end there. Repeated stress & trauma will cause muscles to tense and shorten over long periods of time, or weaken and become flaccid. This will then develop a particular posture & behavioural pattern that will include beliefs about self and the world…eventually concluding with a fixed identify, for example, “I’m such a negative person” “I’ve always been anxious”</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>The structures we’ll be taking a deep dive into are:</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->

<li>the facia</li>

<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->

<li>the diaphragm</li>

<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->

<li>the psoas muscle</li>

<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>

<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>These structures hold tension patterns of trauma & chronic stress and can perpetuate poor posture, stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, digestion, fertility and weight.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>The great news is that tension can be release from these structures and strength can be increased. Getting to know these parts of the body more and learning how to befriend and work them will:</p>
